650ml Bottle purchased from brewery in early September.
Reddish bronze with moderate head. Very mild cherry and floral notes. Light cherry flavours, slight tartness. Over-carbonated to my tastes with a medium body. Admittedly this was consumed towards the end of the 3 month recommended freshness note on the label, but I am certain flavours have fallen off substantially. 5 Paddles tends to be either hit or miss in my experience, and this 3 month old bottle of beer is a miss for me.

Purchased at the brewery for a pretty steep $6.00 for a 500ml bottle. Served in a tulip at 7deg C.
A- Opens well and pours a 1" high white head that is gone in seconds. Dark gold colour and filtered clear
S- Not much here. Was expecting more fruit.
T- Light cherry flavor. Touch of hops and decent malt. Not a powerful brew but for a fruit beer it's not too bad. Just not my style
M- Ho hum but ok
O- Nice to try but I'm not the biggest fruit fan out there. Have had better so I won't buy this again
Food Pairing
This ok brew went well with....... Ice cream. This brew did well with vanilla ice cream as a float.
Enjoy

C'est Bon Cherie has a dainty white head that (appropriately) leaves the glass looking like the sidewalk near a cherry tree after a heavy storm in late May. I'm somewhat relieved to see this beer isn't bright red but instead orange with soft coral pink hue. Not that good fruit beers with vivid colour don't exist but usually a super flamboyant appearance indicates artificial colour or, even worse, artificial flavour.
The aroma exists independent of the fruit as well; this is the spicy, zesty bouquet that comes standard with all Witbiers. In this case, however, those stockpile orange peel and cracked coriander flavours are loudly amplified - I think 5 Paddles' first intention was to make a potpourri but then it got wet and they decided 'screw it, throw it in the fermenter and we'll bottle it later'.
It's not ripe cherries that we appreciate in this recipe, it's their fermented versions; nevermind sweet and juicy, their contribution here is tartness above all else. And that's pretty standard - I always found the cherry pits added more flavour (in the form of almond-like nuttiness) then the actual flesh. The fruit is still noticeable, albeit in a more festering, soured kind of capacity...
Luckily tartness is a welcomed quality in a beer already replete with tangy, tropical orange peel taste and seasoned, spicy coriander notes. Indeed, this is an offering as rounded as a sphere, with no one feature or flavour ever able to make an edge for itself. Despite good body and higher alcohol (6.1%) this is every bit the easy warm weather drinker one would hope for in a summertime fruit quencher.
If you want to be rich and well known you shouldn't work at a microbrewery. But if your intentions extend to just making/drinking/sharing good beer through exploring creative avenues and drawing on a diversity of cultural and gastronomic inspirations then by all means. It's creations like C'est Bon Cherie that clearly show that's what the guys at 5 Paddles are all about - and that they're good at what they do.
